The central panels have gold-blocked cornerpieces and contain the armorial super-ex-libris of a Knight of the Garter. Still visible within the now deteriorated escutcheons are two crescents above a fess -- possibly the arms of Sir Henry Lee, of Ditchley (1533-1611), Champion to Queen Elizabeth I and Master of the Armoury. The initials "W.C." (or W.G.) are present under the privilege on the title page
